Fucking Eh That Is The Fucking Sex!!!!! That Is The Sex And The Tits And The Poon Tang
No, I o-ring the block that is very important under high boost. The turbo is a gt 42 and that is a new tial 60mm wastegate.
well.......
any news/updates? did you get that weak cylinder thing worked out?
Yeah it is all set and will be putting it together today and make the dyno during the week
what did you end up with on the dyno?
ooooooooooooooooooooooooo the suspense is killing me!!!
Great setup on the car johnny, I never got to congratulate you on the great swap. For awhile I wondered if it was possible with an H22. I like to see how the car looks now
X2...that would be awesome.Quote:

I made the dyno on sat but I had serious engine touble. The crank pulley bolt back it way out and the crank came lose during a pull. It snap the crank snout and the time belt came loose and bent some vavles. I have not taken the motor apart to see if there any more damage. will kept posted.
meh that sucks. I know the feeling of a new engine blowing up, it sucks bigtime
that sucks hopefully the damage is minimal and it will be an easy rebuild.
when the timing belt breaks, and the pistons hit the valves, it's usually never minimal damage.
good luck johnny you'll get it right again.
man that really blows. im surprised i have not blown up my engine...these a20s are strong. relined 4th gear for about 8 miles.~120mph.
sorry to hear man.
hopefully the damage didnt go past a couple of bent valves.
Very interesting how this works out for ya.. Lots of fabrication & skills for such a modification of this type. Nice work so far!! Hats off... :)
(King of young kids dreams on here, lol)

Interference motor
Anyhow, if you have a leak down tester. Do a leak down test before pulling the head. That will let ya know what is going on. Pretty sure you know what & how to test for valves.
Well i bent alot of valves and have some gouges in the pistons from the valves but no other damage that i can see, so far.
Yeah I did a quick leak down test and that motor is a interference motor all the way.
that suck's!
do you think you will make it out this season?
I will work day and night to make it to epping,nh next weeken. I will be burning the candle at both ends. I have a crank at the machine shop should be done on monday. Will do the bearing on tues and then order them on wed. Will talk to my connect on mon for valves and hopefully have the head back for the weeken. I hope to have the motor done by the beginning of next week and make the dyno at the end of the week and go to the track with no seat time and have fun. Will keep posted.
hope all goes well :) cant wait for pics either :D
i don't know if you've heard of this but the H and B series motors' timing belts flap like a mofo at high rpm's and if it skips a tooth or snaps your fucked.
check out www.vibrantperformance.com
they make H series and B series tensioners that go where the stock PS pump used to be, should solve all your problems with that.
good luck
i wish i lived close, i'd be down to help get it done! if there is anything i can do from colorado let me know.
i posted a few more pic's on a AOM thread for you.
I wish it just jumped teeth, but the pulley came loose and snapped the snout of the crank and I am going to look into one of those tensioners
I am looking for a h22 crank for 92-96, does anyone know someone with one? The help will be appreciated.
If you look on car-part.com & punch all the information in, they list the crankshaft for around $125.
YOU have to put car-part.com as it looks with the hyphen. <<
I found a crank but I have other issues,when the motor became off balanced the piston skirt on one of the cylinder put a grove in one of the wall that was to deep so now i have to get the next size up piston and it is a 3-5 week wait. So i will keep on with up dates.
Here is an update, the pistons are in and the motor is at the machine shop and will update when it running and some dyno #'s and or some times.
yeayyyyyyyyy
now make some events in FL and get out of etown and atco!
lol
its nice down here now ;)
Got the motor from the machine shop today and started to put it together. I will post some dyno results soon.
great to hear johnny! i am looking forward to the results.
do you have any goals for ET's with the new setup? and what is your fastest slip so far?
Can't wait to see this thing in action, good to hear its almost running again.
I admire your spirit, even though the first engine takes a pretty good dump, you keep on going. Good luck with the new engine!
I am hoping to go 8's with the setup, and with the money invested I couldn't give up on the project. I just had the shop bore and balance i put my own motors together.
8's..... :) :D :) totally, totally awesome. :)
You know at some point we are going to need some high res video of your car and some trips down the strip.
yeah, i want to see some updated pics of this
No problem will get some pics down with it all together and do some dyno video's i hope.
3words for you...pinks all out.
anyway i am studying your pics like a how to guide.
what size pipe (and thickness of pipe) are you using for your front end?
mainly the pipe where your fenders attach.
what size pipe for the "traction bars"?
is there any thing you would have done different?
i am planning a coupe build and i want to build the front end similar to your chassis.
any help would be appreciated.
thanks jerry
Jerry, I am not sure on pipe sizes back I can measure it up for you. I know they are chromonly. I think they are no smaller than 1.5"
I also started with the motor and it is together on the stand. So just have to put on tranny on and put it in. Then start with the break-in pt.
What machine shop do you use? I was thinking about shipping my block to ERL because they have a name and the pricing was pretty much what i paid a local shop. I definately don't want problems like i had before with the shop and on my own.
going to be a fun car when its all together :)
now that i look at it again it does look like 1.5"... thanks
one other question... what are the NHRA rules when you tube the front end?
would i have to get the chassis NHRA certified?
would it make a difference in the class? sfwd ect...
:cheers: sounds like you are finally getting it going, good luck with the break-in.i am sure there are videos to come in the near future...
that reminds me do you have that 10 sec run on video?
It is not consider to be tube front end because i still have the stock towers and frame rails, that is more for safety. I have a full cage so i have to get it certi. by NHRA. What i did migth make a difference in SFWD. We just have to wait for the new rules to come out. I have alot of 10 sec runs, i have to figure out how to get it on the memory card off the video camera.
well i dont think i will have the cash to jump on it right away, so i can wait for the rules to come out. I like the way your car is set up,seems alot easier to work on or pull the engine. i am lookin at an 8pt cage to start with and i am trying to keep it somewhat streetable. I want to try to make the front end(how would you call it?) 2-way.i want to be able to pop the hood as it would stock, and be able to remove the entire front clip just as easy without adding an ass load of weight. ill figure that out later.. What does your car weigh in at?
hmmm..all i do with my camera is plug in the usb and windows takes care of the rest..i am running windows xp though.
did you install the software for your cam? is it the same cam that you took the h22/chassis pics with?
Johnny did you have your cage custom made or is there a kit we can order? Me and jerry are kind of in the same boat, gonna need a cage sooner or later
The 8pt is good but you can go all the way and do a 10 pt.I could remove the hood and fenders but it isn't one piece. I use all the stock mounting pts.I have to do the video camera, put i took the pictures with my video camera.
I have good news boys, the motor is in and running. I have plans to go to the dyno next weeken,I hope. I will definitely take some video ,so i can download it and have someone upload it for me. It sounds very good and revs nice.
I would be happy to host some video clips for you.... let me know when you have something to post.
Well boys i finally made it to the dyno this weeken and it happened. I made 661 hp @29psi. I have to get the torque reading tommorrow. We wanted to tune up to 30psi and have it clean. We difinitly will be turning it up alittle at a time, when at the track. It sounded good and will have some video footage for you guys.
congrats johnny!
Thats great man. Dont forget your camera and post up some dyno sheets
Holy moly!! so much power.... congrats on all the hard work finally paying off jonny. Can't wait to see pics or vids.
Damn finally, congrats!! How much power were you making with the A20 engine?
Here is the dyno set and the video of it,actually acouple of them.http://s255.photobucket.com/albums/h...t=MVI_0906.flvhttp://s255.photobucket.com/albums/h...t=MVI_0905.flvhttp://s255.photobucket.com/albums/h...t=MVI_0902.flv Also here is one of the dyno sheet, i cannot upload the 661hp sheet and i will get that one up later.http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...pdynosheet.jpg
OMG :bow: :bow:
Nice numbers. I wish you were closer, I would love to see you race.
HOLY Shit man!
:bow: :thumbup:
wow! looking really good! i wish i had the money to do something like this
God damn...you must post some vids of this on the road down a strip or something! 661 HP could represent for every 3gee out there, thats so badass :bow:
Holy horsepower batman!
Truly badass job man, congrats!
holly fack at the dyno vids
give me ur car now :D
Wow that is some crazy shit! GREAT job :cheers:
That is with stock cams ,I am looking into getting a set of cams so i can make more power. We plan on turning it up to at least 40, alittle at a time at the track.
There are tears in my eyes. That's beautiful!
nice job johnny! thats awesome to finally see...
Gotdame thats hot i wish it were an A20 though to be more realistic to use guys i kno i dont have the money to do a swpe like that i wish but thats bad ass
wow.. a 10 second 3gee.. :jaw:
i want more updates...plz
h22 are the shit!! my brother just hit 12s last night wit his, just 5 lbs of boost!! gonna run some alchy/water injection and 10psi, he wants low 11s.. oh and hes in colorado high altitude!! :drool:
i want some h22....
vids!!!!:rockon:
Well the bad luck continues. Went to the track yesterday and on the first run in 4th gear the tranny broke under load and it may have went into 3rd but it was boucing of the rev limiter and dropped a valve. So cylinder #1 piston is shot but in the process of getting it back together. By the way i ran a 12.4 @90mph, well pedaling it and short shifting.
Dang, that sucks to hear Johnny, good luck getting it back up and running. Hope you can pull some 10 or sub 10 sec passes this summer.
i like how you always look foward and keep on going....makes me want to rebuild my engine
Johnny is an insparation....
well the parts are on order and should have it going soon. Will keep you guys posted
dammit johnny!
Well the vavletrain parts came in 2day and the head will be done with the porting and polishing 2morrow.
yay!
so, johnny... what's the new update? if any?
The head should be done by the end of this week and the machine shop is looking to save the one sleeve because the new pistons are alittle bigger. It will be very soon if the sleeve is saveable.
alright now.. well keep it up.. and keep us posted man!
Time for an update. The head is all done and put together. The new pistons came in today, so the block will be off to the machine shop on Mon. It will be back together and running soon.
The block was dropped off to the machine shop today, to be bored.
what ever happened with the old vids?
with all the problems you are having, are you still happy with the decision of going to the "H"?
I couldn't get the old videos onto my computer because they were on video not memory card. I don't reget going h it is costing me some money but when i get it going it is going to be a monster.
take them bitches to walmart and have them put on disk!
hell I'll even be happy if you played them on the TV and shot the TV with the digital cam. lol!
ha,ha! i am just busting you're balls on the vids.
It seems we all have been having trouble with our setup's lately, and i am glad you are sticking with it!
what ever happend to HaveaNOSday and jason budd?
hell mine runs good but i am hesitant about taking it to the track. then again if i blow it up it would give me a reason to build the b18 that is hibernating in the garage.
good luck.
